In reply to the discussion: Cawthorn said he used his wheelchair to transport "multiple weapons" during Jan 6 insurrection [View all]Effete Snob
(8,387 posts)96. He did not say either of the things in the tweet
It's amazing that people did not listen to the actual quote.
It is an interview conducted during the Jan. 6 insurrection as Cawthorn is in a secure location with other Congress members. He states that he is armed (as he was allowed to be). He also says that his wheelchair is capable of carrying multiple weapons, but does not say that it was doing so that day; and he also says that people around him are armed. He does not say he armed those people, who are presumably the people guarding the Congress members at his location.
Cawthorn's a dick, but I don't see the point in being dishonest about what he actually says and does not say in the video.

Smack the Coup Caucus with the 14th Amendment. He has just admitted he is guilty.

That should help the people trying to keep him from running for re-election.

This was known over a year ago. In fact, it appears Congresspeople could carry gunz into Capitol.

It doesn't seem that many of the people commenting actually listened to the video
